We need leaders capable of breaking down and solving complex problems for the benefit of over 120 million customers.

    Amazon is seeking a Senior Supply Chain Manager to identify, develop and integrate innovative solutions and programs that lead to improvements that redefine the standards for customer experience in our North American transportation network.

    • Establish and maintain design principles that guide decision-making when competing priorities arise, codifying how the network balances speed, cost, and resilience in practice.
    • Simulate and validate proposed network configurations against real-world variability, ensuring design choices are timed well to support peak and non-peak periods
    • Build and maintain visibility mechanisms that surface network performance insights to leadership, enabling data-driven prioritization and rapid course correction on a recurring cadence.
    • Own the operational response framework for network disruptions, proactively identifying vulnerability points and deploying contingency routing to preserve customer promise during degraded conditions.
    • Partner across organizations to build consensus on capital allocation, capacity planning, and design trade-offs that require multi-team commitment and shared accountability.
    • Ideate and sequence initiatives that simplify middle mile complexity, reducing unnecessary handoffs while improving sortation efficiency

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
